If a driver cannot get in just jump over to Room A.
Weekend to forget for me.
I would think there will be a few promotions to room a, and Church your racing ain't finished yet,
Iye but my mic will be muted.
Thats me most of the time cause of me yelling and screaming over some really slight stupid mistake that auto puts me to the rear! Why do I love a game that hates me so?
Also, the handicaps were off going into todays race due to carry over from previous weeks. Based on that, we started with the following (thanks to Seeker and Kent for the honesty):
10% - Filthymonkeyuk
5% - D Seeker34
5% - Xsitement
5% - aquiel2k
5% - KentB56
Starting next week, the handicaps "should be as follows"
10% - Filthymonkeyuk
5% - Kevlar133
10% - D Seeker34
5% - aquiel2k
5% - MapoUK
5% - KentB56
Replays will be posted on my SF later tonight. Great racing everyone!
@JuanDerecho1; Sorry man for turning you in race three lap 1! Was totally my fault. Just as I wanted to say, that I am on your right (your left rear whell) you came to the left. Sorry. It wasn't something personal. Just a bad mistake.
A strange mix for me, nurfed off three times once in each race, at least twice by some iffy driving by someone in traffic and once was mostly my fault after a lousy corner, but this was balanced by some very good and fair driving by those in the lower orders, big shout out to Shrimp who voluntarily gave up a position after a rather extreme corner cut, fair play to you.
Sorry I had no comms, think I have solved the problem for next week, I pulled my rig apart to get to the back of my Elite where everything plugs in and the mic lead was almost out.
Not too much lag that I could see this week, one driver I was dicing with was stuttering a bit but we diced for a few laps without incident.

No problem. I don't think it was on purpose. I look forward to next week's races.
Sorry for my bad driving again wish I could get some better speed out of this thing. Apologies to those I turned (there was a couple of you). Question to anyone out there is there a way I can better the car (or is it my driving) thanks again though for a great race, very close driving in all three races I thought.
From my limited experience, the car is great! . Speeds are the same minus the handicap. I have found i lose speed and the pack with cornering. Better cornering is the key for me. I've heard it a thousand times here.... Seat time.
Team DBBQ Racing would like to recognize all of its drivers in Room B for outstanding results in the last event.
aquiel2k & D Seeker 34 each picked up a win and Sroth88 in his 1st participation in the series showed great potential for the future.
GRD 4 3L, racing in Room A, commented, "It is delightful to be racing in a room where most drivers are less than 1 second of the fastest lap time! Need to work more on close quarters race craft as well as getting the extra 0.5 seconds off on every lap."
You can syat that again GRD, its nearly impossible to pass in room A everyone is so damn close. In race 1 yesterday I was about 600 feet from first place half way through the race...I was in 8th spot!!!
No kidding! I am still not settled in Room A; it takes me a long time to get used to racing CLOSE with new people because I try not to bump anyone I don't know (or do know, for that matter).
But damn it, in a room full of drivers that can match/beat my best lap times is tough; especially if you are only separated by a car length or two in front AND rear! More than once I had to slow down more than necessary to avoid collision with the car in front only to be overtaken by car from behind! Can't go too fast, can't go too slow!
Not complaining; the races are still great and I know running with you guys will make me a safer/faster driver.
That was another good team performance from JDRT in the Sunday’s races. All four drivers were able to start and all four car’s had a special livery due to the events in Boston. JDANKERT had talked to all sponsors and all gave the permission to remove them for a “in memorian Boston 2013” banner.
“It is always great to see all team members on the track. I hope, that there no technical problems will occur.” JDANKERT said before the race. His comment after the race: “There were few technical issues. Knight couldn’t communicate, but managed to read all signs from the pit very well. But I think there were other issues, which are to discuss.”
Room A = aggressive driving?
This was demonstrated by a very angry ChurchPro, who did not came to the press conference after all three races. There were some incidents in each race, which made it impossible for him to reach the podium. In the team meeting he spoke about the events. “It wasn’t easy to calm him down” JDANKERT told afterwards. “I will not tell, what he said word for word, but he got several hits, while he was in very good track position and could only manage to finish 8th, 10th and 4th. The team will meet in the next days and discuss.
For sure, absolutely sure, we will have a very close look to the vids! Some of the action from today wasn’t, isn’t and won’t be the style of driving and competition I want either as teamowner nor as racer!”
Backstroke in team competition
These room A results are a backstroke for JDRT in the team competition. Emotions in room B also were high. JDANKERT: “I can’t describe exactly or explain, but may be there’s a sense of too much aggression in this series. Before we started it, there were such comments from the training sessions. The car handles great and may be the drivers are simply pushing too far most of the times, because this Seat gives them so much confidence. The Leon makes it easy to cut corners brutally, to dive deep in nearly impossible situations and so on.
May be it is a idea, that some experienced drivers are making a learning video about cutting corners, giving space, avoid hitting others, coming back to the track, …… and so on. Enough video material is available.”
Another driver, Fitzy, quoted in the evening after the races: “Definitely an interesting set of races, quite a bit of action. I think I enjoyed it but I'm not sure.” JDANKERT: “I believe, he sense the same. Couldn’t talk to him, but …. we will see.”

Outlook for next race
The next track is the home track of JDRT drivers from the UK. Some podiums are expected by team owner JDANKERT. “For myself I want to make faster times at Silverstone. Since months I try to built up a friendship with this track. Didn’t work until today, but I won’t give up!”
Yawn, team PistonHeads been there done that 3 drivers 1 race filled the podium places. Enough said.
Anyone looking for a replay of this, surprisingly easy, accomplishment let Parcells know, I can send you the replay or post on my storefront. Don't be shy, you know you want to watch it.

Again great racing guys! See you next week
Sorry for my bad driving again wish I could get some better speed out of this thing. Apologies to those I turned (there was a couple of you). Question to anyone out there is there a way I can better the car (or is it my driving) thanks again though for a great race, very close driving in all three races I thought.
Slow in Fast out gunny!
Following you the other day, I noticed you sometimes carry way to much speed in to a turn then go wide. You then come out of the turn really slow.
Just slow it down a bit entering a turn then you can get on the power faster when coming out.
Hello,
I thank "my drivers" for wearing the special livery yesterday "in memorian Boston 2013".

Seat Leon Supercup
